I believe that they released the Type-R ver 3 555 ltd edition in yellow to celebrate the stat of the road going Type-R's and i think they were made in very small numbers possibly a couple of hundred, may be even less, as for distinctive features im not sure about the vin plate but i think they had the round world rally badge on the boot,'555' ebroised on the front seat and possibly a plaque either next to the vin plate or on the centre console.
A very rare car.
